[development] New maintainer for mail2og?

[arthur]

While we are on the subject of mail and OG, if somebody wants to take  
over and fix mail2og (http://drupal.org/project/mail2og) I'd gladly  
hand it over. I've got to much going on right now to maintain it.

Mail2Og takes arbitrary to addresses and maps them to drupal group  
titles. It needs some love.
